Develop an accurate budget that follows funder and organizational guidelines that clearly communicates how grant funds will be used. Write a budget justification that clearly explains how the proposed budget relates to the proposed program and evaluation activities.
You will evaluate the use of financial resources to achieve goals and sustainability. Submit a three-year budget totaling $300,000 for your proposed program using the template provided. Assume a fringe rate of 25%, salary inflation rate of 3% annually, and an indirect/overhead rate of 20%. Submit a one-page budget justification that explains how expenses were calculated, what was included and any relevant assumptions. The budget justification should make clear the relationship between the funds requested and the activities described in the grant proposal. Be sure to explain how the program or program impact will be sustained after the funding ends.
